    Engineering How stable is Aerospace Engineering? What about Mechanical Engineering?

    It is only as stable as the wars we get into.

    Get an Internship with Physics Major at U of I Urbana

    Ok, am a physics major currently a sophmore at U of I urbana..Now i have this feeling that i would not be good enough for the DOE to get an internship next year. I haven't accomplished anything major except i wrote a theoretical physics paper: Modelling Maxwell's solution in a vector and...

    The math of General Relativity

    not really..i mean what is mathematical analysis anyways...jst diff. integ. analytic func...i mean its all what you probably know..go straight for it.

    The math of General Relativity

    Yes it helped..the little tricks i learned helped me in Gen. Relativity so go for it..doesn't hurt, or you could just buy the book and study it on your own save you the money...give the economy and all that.

    The math of General Relativity

    I am an undergrad i took a vector and tensor analysis class anyways...b4 i took Gen. Relativity my sophomore year {yes i am a rising junior with too many physics classes}

    Undergrad Matter to Energy: Kinetic + Rest Mass?

    Correct me if am wrong but is it correct. i thought the merely acceleration of the object should account for a change in mass hence relativistic energy is considered. Shouldn't it be the relativistic energy instead of the rest energy..

    Graduate Do tidal forces mean the Equivalence Principle is BS?

    Am done helping...go read, if you have a problem.

    Graduate Do tidal forces mean the Equivalence Principle is BS?

    in simple terms, inertial reference frame means no gravitational field. non inertial reference frame means gravitational field. ..derived from the term inertia-which is the tendency of an object to remain in uniform motion..blah blah blah. So equivalence says that two objects of different...

    Thnks wannebeNewton for clarifying that for him

    Graduate Do tidal forces mean the Equivalence Principle is BS?

    Well Equivalence Principle means that two objects of different mass fall at same rate and also that acceleration in non-inertial reference frame has the same gravitational properties as an object in an inertial reference frame. Tidal forces are basically the squeezing and squashing of objects...

    Graduate Time dilation in an electromagnetic potential

    Since the gravitational field is can be represented using Einsteins Relativity Eq. Well the EM field can also have some curvature effect on the fabric on space so in effect yes. It would. because intense Em fields can produce gravitational fields which in turn has a gravitational potential..
